1. A method comprising:
providing at a well-site a feed vessel that contains a liquid material, the liquid material comprising a monomer and an initiator;
providing an injection device disposed underneath the feed vessel for directing at least a portion of the liquid material from the feed vessel to a reaction chamber, wherein the reaction chamber comprises a fluid;
discharging at least a portion of the liquid material from the feed vessel to the reaction chamber through an orifice disposed on the injection device; and
forming lost circulation material particulates by polymerizing at least a portion of the liquid material in the fluid in the reaction chamber.
